CMW - I didn't know that! WOW, glad you jumped in

Now regarding the V-Force front suspension. As most of you know and others have figured, I am a team driver for Speedmerchant. I have run the V-Force in a race at the Snowbirds, got 4th after falling to 10th in the first corner. I started running it at club races in Taunton, MA last Oct. So here goes.

1) The production version of the V-Force suspension is not available for purchase as I write this. I talked with Bruce yesterday and the feeling I got was that there are things to do with the manufacturing of the parts and it is not a high priority. I can't give you any hope of a date when the suspension will be available for sale.

2) Bruce told me directly that the V-Force suspension is only valuable for tracks that are wide open with sweeping corners. So if you are running on tracks that have tight 180's, for example, you should look to another suspension for optimum performance. The Old Skool and the dynamic strut should do a nice job on those tracks. The V-Force actually may have a good application in oval, but that is just my opinion.

3) Last night was a setup night for me. I installed my V-Force prototype on a spare car with some additonal insight from Bruce and I finally have the bump-steer under control. Next is to run the car with this configuration and see what I can get out of it. More later.

I hope that helps those of you that have been inquiring about the V-Force suspension. I hope you can be patient until it is ready to go. As with anything new, it takes time to work things out, and I recognize that it also puts an element of interest and intrigue in the consumer. So the bottom line is that it isn't ready yet. Please be patient. You will be able to get it when it is worked out.
